[edit] Iron Chef Natto Battle

Iron Chef Natto Battle (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is apparently the only article for an individual episode of Iron Chef. Since Iron Chef episodes will most likely never be the subject of multiple reliable non-trivial published works, they are unlikely to ever meet the primary notability criterion. No sources, no article. A Train ^{take the} 05:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. The only episode I can imagine coming even close to qualifying would be the one featuring American chef Ron Siegel, and only because both of his hometown papers sent reporters to Japan to cover it. --Calton | Talk 07:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- Neier 07:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I wish I could say that such things are notable enough to deserve their own article, but I think the Iron Chef article is descriptive enough, covering the Notable Challengers, and in the process naming and briefly describing some significant episodes.

• Delete unless the episode is the subject of multiple non-trivial references independent of the show, it should not have its own article. -MsHyde 22:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. The only thing notable about this is the notariety of natto, but that isn't really enough.MightyAtom 03:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This is a protest vote. I feel sorry for poor Iron Chef which has more general notability than most anime series. Yet we have droves-upon-droves of such unsourced articles about anime. (i.e. List_of_Naruto_episodes) If one of those is brought up for a deletion vote we'd have fans of the series raise a fuss and the article would invariable be kept. This is a serious flaw of the AFD system. --Kunzite 02:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
